Disappointed that they don't have the female orange minifig in LEGO 70707 CLS-89 Eradicator Mech. That's the main set I'm interested in. Any chance she shows up in any other set or polybag?

[exciter1]

Those sets totally give me a headache.

The female minifig (Ashlee) is not in other sets other than Bug Obliterator, however, her face is the only unique piece. If you have the orange Mini mech set, from Walmart, you just need to buy the face piece (from places like Bricklink) to create her minifig.

My favorite is the Hive Crawler of the new sets.

[Brick & Blue]

^ But her blue lipstick is what makes her awesome.

Speaking of blue, I which all the sets were blue. They look the best to me, blue first, green, red and then the horrid orange.

[SpaceNinjaDino]

The reason why the blue look the best is because it's the closest to Futuron that we've had since 1989. :) Although it isn't a real blue. It's dark azure which is a rare color with only 37 unique parts so far. I would probably prefer all the sets to use blue/dark azure, but the red/green are kinda cool. The orange is bright but have the mini mech and largest mech sets. The red team still hasn't gotten a good set (I am not in to the bugs, but will use them as an interim enemy).

I got all of the first wave plus dozens of polys. I will get these too, but probably 4-5 of the mechs for a squad and maybe a second Titan.

Exactly what I was going to say. Even so I still plan on getting the whole line.

[Brick & Blue]

Dark Azure isn't rare, it's just a new color that LEGO hasn't used a lot of it yet. I love it, looked great in Alien Conquest minifigures (the first time the color was used) and still looks great with the new space theme.

It does bug me a little that LEGO has 8 shades of blue, but couldn't have 3-4 shades of grey. Yeah I'm still complaining about new dark grey.

[Mantisking]

Those look cool. Let's hope the pricing is a little more competitive this time around.

I'm so excited about these sets! I loved the first wave, and these are just more awesomeness! My favorite is the Orange Team as I love the orange-white combo and the Space Obliterator is just such a gorgeous ship! I have been working on customizing mine to perfection. :)

I'm wondering if there is going to be a third wave that would make the Red Team prominent. So far everybody has their awesome mechs or ships except for the poor Red Team. :(

[Brick & Blue]

The red team is the fast team and mechs aren't fast. It's why they only have small speeder bikes and such.

They are literally the "Red Shirts" of Galaxy Squad. They are there to be wiped out by the bugs.

Of course, I am holding onto a very small glimmer of hope that we get a huge Galaxy Squad set this year much like we got with Haunted House and Monster Fighters last year. But I know it isn't happening. But I can dream...

[vynsane]

Take this with a grain of salt, obviously, until we see real proof, but Eurobricks member mazzonG4637 posted that he had contacted LEGO Customer Service and was told there would be another wave of GS sets this year.

Sigh....

I need more black Lego minifigures not space ships. Mace and Lando are lonely. No offense met....carry on!

No LEGO minifigures are black, they are brown.

All LEGO made theme sets will have 100% yellow minifigures, if you want more skin tone figures you need to stick to the license themes.

Or buy NBA sets for really cheap off of eBay.

There are NBA sets!? I'm trying to make a Django minifigure and not use Sam Jackson's Mace head. Seems wrong....



Edit...Thanks for the tip. I found a NBA Ultimate Arena. Never would have guessed that set existed. They even have big smiles. Remember the snowman scene from Django?

[Brick & Blue]

The last "new" movie I have seen was Batman, so no.

But yeah had a year or two of a ton of NBA sets. They sold horribly, they were giving them away at TRU, like 75 cents for three "mini figures".

I call them "mini figures" because the only useable parts are the head. The arms and legs are useless, and the hands are one piece with the arms to hold the balls.

[Marcus70]

When is the the Galactic Titan set going to be released? A bit odd that the Flag ship set is not out with the other smaller sets.

Batman!? You haven't watched a new movie since 1989? A dark age is one thing....falling off the face of the earth is another
